Laughing + Crying + Awesome worship= Casting Crowns concert.

Man, last night's concert was awesome. I definately needed a spiritual boost, and I definately got it last night at the concert. There could not have been anything else other than that concert that could've made me feel how I did. God spoke to me the same way as He did the first time I saw them. All I could think about is that one day I will be up there with them leading others in worship. It was just so awesome to know that one day, we will be up there spreading God's love, and having people being saved right then and there before our eyes. As soon as Casting Crowns walked on stage and began their first song, tears just filled my eyes. God was there so strongly, and I almost couldn't hold myself up. Seeing those people being saved last night was the most amazing thing I have ever seen. I don't think that I couldn't gone to that concert with any better people than I did go with. My brother Eddie, my cousin Nikki, David, and Katie all went. They are all awesome people, and I love them all so much. Eddie, thanks so much for being an awesome influence on me and always being the big brother that others would dream of having. I know that you are a true man of Christ and love God with all your heart, and that is really an inspiration. I love you, Eddie. David, you're a great guy man.  Keep serving the Lord. Love ya man. Katie, you are awesome. You're always so happy, full of joy, always laughing, and full of love and compassion for others and that to me is amazing. I know that you are truely in love with Christ, and I know that you will go wherever God will lead you. I wish there were a lot more people like you in our world. I am very proud and honored to have someone like you in my life. I love you Katie! I pray that all of ya'll stay strong in Christ! I love all of ya'll in your own way! -Dennie

The most important thing that we can do for one another is to show each other love. Love is an awesome thing, and we all should share it. There are different variations of love, rather it be love between your b/f/g/f, your family, your friends, or love from God. There are a few verses that I wanna put up that talk about love. Matthew 5:44 "Love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you." Matthew 19:18-19 "Jesus replied, 'Do not murder, do not steal, do not give false testimony, honor your father and mother, and love you neighbor as yourself." John 13:34 "A new commandment I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another."1 Chorinthians 13:4-8 "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects. always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. love never fails." 1 John 4:7- " Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God." 1 John 14:6 "God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him." And of course John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, He gave His only begotten Son that whoever should believe in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life." Everything we do should revolve around love, and we should always show our love towards everybody.

Ok, so I'm gonna write in this thing..just have been busy and haven't had much time to. I've been thinking a lot lately about some stuff. You know, you never know what someone goes through in their life. Do really know that person that's sitting next to you at school or even in the church pew? What is their homelife like? What have they gone through in their life? You just don't know, and it's really sad because most of these people are still hurt and broken from those things of the past and even the present. Some of these things people never let go and it still haunts them today. The worst thing about it is that some of the worst people who are still messed up are in the church. Why aren't we reaching to these people? Why aren't we showing them that they are loved? Where is our passion? I don't know. Even those people who have been saved and do live their lifes as true Christians, you still don't know who they used to be or what they gott into. The best thing about it is that God has forgiven them, and it exist no more. I finally figured out what I am going to do for college now. I am gonna go for psychology and get into Christian counceling. That way I can tell people about Christ and help them through their problems because discernment and wisdom I know are some of my gifts that God gave me. We need to start helping others and being mirrors of Christ and sharing his love and compassion. Why are we so dead? Why is most of the American church headed for hell? I'ts because we have become so secularised and lost the true meaning of Christianity. We have lost the love. We are hypocrites, accusing each other for sins that we do ourselves. We feel that sin is ok because everyone does it and it's not really that bad. Hello! Sin is sin! It's wrong! Murderers, adulterers, drunkards, theives, people who use bad language, homosexuals, people who make themselves their own god, and simply anyone who does not follow God's commandments will be cast into hell. These are all sins. They are wrong, and they need to change. There's no it's not that bad or no sin is just a normal thing. It's clear as day and night. Sin is wrong no matter how you look at it. People who say things like that are just trying to cover their on butts so they can sleep at night and get by with it. Well, they won't get by with it forever. There's gonna be that day when we are all held accountable for each and every sin we have commited, and they are going to wish they followed God's Word when he separetes the good to His right, and the evil to His left bound for hell. Again I say, most of these people are in the church. Most of the American church is bound for hell. God help us. I feel like things are going to change though. We are going to wake up and come back to Christ and realize that He is the only Way, the only Truth, and the only Life. This post is for the hypocrites and the people in the church who talk the talk but dont walk the walk.

John 14:6-"I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me."

I just want to know, who even does xanga now? I mean, who actually reads my posts? I know there are a couple, but dang, where did everyone go..*cricket sound*..dang

This is an email I sent to one of my friends about how we get so busy with things that we forget the true things that are important in our lives. I think we all need to read this because everyone needs to make some sacrifices in their lives. Kinda long, but so are all of my posts so yay.

(1st email) Things/ people are easily forgotten, constantly meeting other people, always doing whatever. It's like things can easily slip away ya know. One minute something's right there in in front of you and you think it will always be and the next, it's gone and out of your life before you wake up and know it. Things arent always gonna be there like we think or hope. Our dreams and our lives can easily fall away if we stand by and don't go after the things that we truely live for. If we stand by and think that we have all the time in the world to take our dreams and make them reality, then we will just be living a lie and only be living our lives in memories. We get so wrapped up in everything that's not important and forget everything that is important to us. God, family, friends, and love are the things that we should live for. (2nd email) Things change so fast, but I guess it's a part of growing up. You said that you've tried making time for those four things, but have you looked at it like this. What is the whole point of having everything except the things that matter? It is the same concept of you can gain the whole world but lose your own soul. You have everything but the things that truely do matter. You would have all of these worldly possessions but still be unhappy because you are still empty inside. Aren't those things that matter worth sacrificing over the things that don't? The best things in life are those things that you can't buy because those are things that you can never get back if they are lost. Don't you think that you would be happy if you did have those things that mattered? Aren't those four things that I said worth having over everything? I gurantee if you have those things then your life will be happy again. Sometimes I do feel like well dang, is this it too? But I realized that hey, if I have God then I am set because He is the first person on my list, and He is my everything. He has a perfect plan for me, and I know that one day His plan will come and that my calling will be fulfilled. But the other three things, I do need too. I need my family, I need my friends, and yes I do need love. The cool thing is, is that if you have God, then you are going to have love which spreads through out to your family and friends. They all tie together. So what I think you need to do is make some sacrifices for the things that do matter in your life before you wake up too late and they're all gone. Because like we already said, things don't last forever ya know, so you need to make that choice before it is too late.
